 In May, it is well nigh covered with clusters of 

 large, double fragrant flowers of soft apple blossom 

 pink that resemble roses. Flowers when young.

MAPLE (Acer) 

 ASH-LEAVED or BOX ELDER (A. Negundo).

 ash-like leaves. Extremely hardy and succeeds 

 near the sea. Desirable for producing shade 

 quickly at low cost. 8 ft., 50c.; 10 ft., 75c. each. 



NORWAY (A. platanoides).— A round-headed 

 tree with broad top, dense leafage and straight 

 stem, holding its large palmate leaves until late in 

 the autumn. Not of rapid growth, but attains large 

 proportions upon fertile soil with age. The most 

 popular of all the Maples. 8 ft., 75c.; 10 ft., $1.25 

 each. 



GLOBE. — A variety of the popular Norway 

 Maple. It forms a dense round head similar to

SOFT or SILVER-LEAVED (A. dasycarpum).

 what low growth and spreading but vigorous and 

 very hardy. Its leaves are larger than those of 

 other willows, deep, dark green and as smooth and 

 glossy upon the upper surface as they would be if 

 varnished. 6 ft., 40c.; 8 ft., 60c.; 10 ft., $1.00 each. 



SALAMON'S (S. Salamoni).— The finest of the 

 Willows. Of tall habit and rapid growth. Its long 

 slender branches are very graceful and weep slightly. 

 The leaves are abundant and light grayish-green; 

 forming a pleasing contrast with the foliage of other 

 shade trees. 8 ft., 50c.; 10 ft., 75c. each. 



Select Evergreen Trees 



In digging, all except the low priced varieties, are "lifted" with a ball of earth at the roots; and the 

 roots with earth, encased in burlap. They are all too large and heavy for shipment by mail. Owing to the 

 weight of trees and earth all except the smaller sizes should be forwarded by freight. 



The prices are for bushy, well furnished trees, in sizes than can be readily shipped. Quotations for 

 larger sizes and for varieties other than those named will be cheerfully given by letter. 



As will be noted by the above illustration, my evergreen trees are dense, full and shapely; due to my 

 soil being peculiarly suited to growing them well and to careful culture and pruning. The supply is a varied 

 and large one; for want of space I offer but a few of the hardiest and most popular varieties. 



Either as single specimens or in groups, evergreen trees give a warmth in winter and coolness in summer 

 to the home grounds that can be obtained in no other way. By a judicious selection and arrangement of the 

 varied forms of growth and colors of foliage (light and dark greens, yellows and blues) effects can readily be 

 produced that are artistic, striking, and permanent.
